Release 88 -- It may actually be worse than we anticipated.

I was in the middle of a comm discussion when the code push finally went through.  I started poking around and got VERY unhappy.  My first fit of towering rage was directed at the Feedback account:


( Subject: So, you don't actually care about your users concerns with Release 88.  )

Then, because the official LJ publications in english have had sweet fanny adams to say about the thousands of complaints they've received in the last week, I wandered over to igrick's page and pressed google translate and hoped for the best.

( Lies, damned lies, and statistics )

Well, you guys know how well I take to being blatantly lied to, so here's my comment there.  Please direct replies over there or to whenever there's a news post.  Oh, also, for those that want DW invitation codes, I'll hand them out in that thread, just to rub it in their faces a little harder.

Writer's Block: Bah Humbug Day!

[Error: unknown template qotd]What used to be my preferred social networking and blogging site went through with Release 88 despite thousands of comments expressing extreme displeasure and legitimate concerns with the proposed changes. Even worse, the only response I've gotten from their staff are canned replies to my feedback letters. Now I have to redirect all of my internal links to the Dreamwidth equivalents and that's going to be a huge pain in my ass. But it's still better than Release 88 and the LJ staffs' responses to their customers.

Hi Friends!

You guys are all the reasons why I'd preferred LJ for so long.

Does anyone have a script for replacing the urls on internally linked multi-chaptered stories? (PLEASE SAY YOU DO!)
